HAMAS VS ISRAEL & DR. PHIL
ANCIENT PALESTINE::
“Palestine in the ancient world was part of the region known as Canaan…The term `Palestine’ was originally a designation of an area of land in southern Canaan which the people known as the Philistines occupied a very small part of ….The area contained the five cities (the Pentapolis) of the Philistine confederacy (Gaza, Ashkelon [Ascalon], Ashdod, Gath, and Ekron) and was known as Philistia, or the Land of the Philistines. It was from this designation that the whole of the country was later called Palestine by the Greeks.” (Google). Palestinians residency in Canaan/Palestine dates back some 4,000 years.
Abraham came to Palestine around 2000 BC. Thus Palestinians presence in Palestine predates Jews by some 2000 years.
God promised the Holy Land (Palestine) to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. God fulfilled His promise to these Biblical Fathers by having their descendants –known as Children of Israel– occupy the land under Joshua. God told the Israelite/Jews:
“Speak not in thine heart…saying, For my righteousness the Lord hath brought me in to possess this land: but for the wickedness of these nations the Lord doth drive them out from before thee ….and that he may perform the word which the Lord sware unto thy fathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
Understand therefore, that the Lord thy God giveth thee not this good land to possess it for thy righteousness; for thou art a stiffnecked people.…from the day that thou didst depart out of the land of Egypt, until ye came unto this place, ye have been rebellious unto the Lord.” (Deuteronomy 9:4-7). (Notably, the Children of Israel/Jacob “chosen” by God-(Deut;7:6-8)- no longer exists; current Jews are not descendants of Israel/Jacob, they are descendants of European converts to Judaism. See Arthur Koestler, The Thirteenth Tribe, available on Amazon).
Israelite/Jews possession of Palestine lasted sixty years: “the entire historical duration of a Jewish state in Palestine prior to 1948 was a sixty-year period two millennia ago”–(Edward Said, The Question of Palestine, 1992, p.58. Available from Amazon).
That Israelite/Jews possession of Palestine was temporary is made clear in these edicts by God:
- “I will scatter you among the heathen and will draw out a sword after you: and your land shall be desolate, and your cities waste”–(Leviticus 26:33).
- “The Lord shall scatter you among the nations, and ye shall be left few in number among the heathen, whither the Lord shall lead you”–(Deuteronomy 4:27).
- “The Lord shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even onto the other”–(Deuteronomy 28:64). (Jerusalem was destroyed in 587/586 BC (Before Christ) and in 70 AC (After Christ).
Equally significant. Whereas God decreed Jews to be “scattered” there is no promise from God that He will assemble/gather Jews in the future. Jesus reiterated God’s vow to destroy (and replace) Jews:
-“Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation. O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! Behold, your house is left unto you desolate”–(Matthew 23:36-38).
-“The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof”–(Matthew 21:43).
Israelite/Jews having lost the Holy Land/Palestine through Divine decree, they have no recourse to it.
MODERN PALESTINE: God did not promise Jews a second possession of Palestine. (As shown above, Jews have no ongoing Biblical claim to Palestine).
Whereas Zionist Jews claim God gave them Palestine. As noted above, God decreed that Jews would be extinct. Arthur Koestler has shown in his book The Thirteenth Tribe, that modern Jews are not Biblical Jews: they are descendants of European converts to Judaism–(The Thirteenth Tribe available from Amazon). Modern Jews, being Europeans, are actually Gentiles.
It was not God Who gave Zionists Palestine in 1947/48; it was the US-UN.
Since the nineteenth century Zionist Jews have been scheming to dispossess Palestinians of their land, to populate it with Jews and set up their state.
“It must be clear that there is no room for both peoples in this country.….the only solution is Eretz Israel, or at least Western Eretz Israel, without Arabs. There is no room for compromise on this point!….there is no way besides transferring the Arabs from here to the neighboring countries, to transfer them all… we must not leave a single village, not a single tribe.”–(Edward Said, The Question of Palestine, p. 99-100.
The British government offered Jews land in Kenya, in 1903. Jews rejected the offer. They did not only want a home: they want(ed) ALL of Palestine –their stated objective was/is to cleanse Palestine of the native Palestinians.
In 1947, with American help, the United Nations voted to partition Palestine:
“twice, when the vote was due, a postponement was called.…. Frenzied lobbying and pressure by the U.S.A. was undertaken. The Liberian delegate, when approached to support partition, replied that he considered the method of approach as “attempted intimidation.” “Sumner Welles affirmed: “By direct order of the White House, every form of pressure, direct or indirect, was brought to bear by American officials upon those countries outside the Moslem world, that were known to be either uncertain or opposed to Partition.” “James Forrestal, then U.S. Secretary of Defense, wrote: “The methods that had been used to bring coercion and duress on other nations in the General Assembly bordered closely on scandal””–(Ismail Zayid, Palestine A Stolen Heritage, pp.10-11). A vote obtained through “pressure” and “duress” is invalid.
It is usually charged that whereas Jews accepted the Partition Plan Palestinians rejected it. Why would Jews reject this Crown Jewel of a Plan that gave them more than half of Palestine? Why should Palestinians accept this bald-faced theft of their land? Would you accept this for yourself?
At the time of Partition, Jews were about thirty-four percent (34%) of the population and owned less than six percent (6%) of land. Yet the UN Plan allotted fifty-six percent (56%) of land to Jews and forty-three percent (43%) to Palestinians. (Will you accept this for yourself?)
As Edward Said aptly points out: “the dispersion of the Palestinians was not a fact of nature but a result of specific force and strategies”–(The Question of Palestine, p. 58).
Moshe Dayan, Israel general, admits:
“We came to this country which was already populated by Arabs, and we are establishing a Hebrew, that is a Jewish state here. In considerable areas of the country [the total area was about 6 percent] we bought the lands from the Arabs. Jewish villages were built in the place of Arab villages. You do not even know the names of these Arab villages, and I do not blame you, because these geography books no longer exist; not only do the books not exist, the Arab villages are not there either.…There is not one place built in this country that did not have a former Arab population. [Ha-Aretz, April 4, 1969.”)-(Ibid; p.14. Emphasis added).
REFLECTION
A country is not dissected because one sector does not wish to live with the “other” or because they desire their own state. If past or present ownership to a piece of land constitutes the right to secede from the whole, or if a country is dissected because one sector does not wish to live with the “other,” or dissected along sectist, racial and theological lines, or for want of their own state, many a country might now be standing in rumps. Unlike people who swap lands to segregate –as in 1947 India-Pakistan– those who do not wish to live with the “other” are to leave. (If Palestinians assent Jews can have their state/autonomy on the six percent land they owned in 1947).
This usurping of Palestinians land is the nucleus of the Arab-Jew conflict. Yet all we invariably hear about is that Arabs are calling for the destruction of Israel. But Arabs are not calling for the destruction of Israel, only for the return of our land that was stolen from us.
It is also charged that Arabs are “enemies” of Jews. But Arabs did not scheme to dispossess Jews of their land, uproot, expel and exodus Jews. Arabs are not “enemies” of Jews; it is the other way around: (Zionist) Jews are “enemies” of Arabs.
Had Zionist Jews accepted the homeland in Kenya Britain offered them in 1903, there would not be this suffering in the Holy Land. No Hamas. And perhaps no Holocaust.
Forcibly taking one person’s property and giving it to another person does not invalidate the first person’s ownership to the property, neither does it legitimize the second person’s possession of the property.
Those who criticize/condemn Palestinians are to give half of their land and home to the homeless, and suffer what Palestinians are enduring.
In the annals of modern history, no people have suffered so much and for so long as Palestinians have suffered, and continue to suffer for nearly eight torturous decades now. If there is any cause on which to immortalize our names it is the cause of the Palestinians.
Justice demands that every grain of sand of Palestine be returned to Palestinians; and they be compensated for their decades of deaths and deprivation. No one would expect any less for himself and herself.
Whereas God gave Israelite/Jews temporary occupation of ancient Palestine. That God gave Jews Palestine for an everlasting possession, is Zionist grandstanding.
HAMAS: Contrary to popular perception, the October 2023 Palestinian-Jewish war was not “triggered” by Hamas.
This war (and previous Arab-Jew wars) was started by Zionist Jews in the nineteenth century when they began scheming to dispossess Palestinians of their land; it was started in 1947 when America engaged in diplomatic machination at the United Nations and the UN voted to partition Palestine; it was started in 1948 when Jews “massacred” their way to statehood, uprooted, expelled and exodus Palestinians into refugee camps. (How would you react?) Palestinians militancy is the natural sequence to Zionist savagery.
On October 7, 2023, Hamas attacked concert-goers in Israel, killing “1200” and taking “250” captive. In response, Israel has killed some 70,000 Palestinians, including 20,000 children, and wounded over 170,000.
“Hamas said its attack was in response to the continued Israeli occupation, the blockade of the Gaza Strip, the expansion of illegal Israeli settlements, rising Israeli settler violence, and recent escalations.” (What would you do?)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/October_7_Hamas-ledattack_on_ Israel#:~:text=Hamas%20said%20its%20attack%20was,settler% 20violence%2C%20and%20 recent%20escalations
After waiting “20 years” in “miserable refugee camps” hoping to be returned home, Palestinians targeted “Israeli military personnel and objectives. The Israelis retaliated by ruthless bombardment using phantom jets and napalm against the defenceless men, women and children in their refugee camps in Jordan, Lebanon and Syria.” Palestinians resorted to airplane hijackings and killing civilians. As Ismail Zayid notes, rightly: “Unpardonable as these acts in themselves are, it behooves all to remember the state of desperation the Palestinians reached and what caused it”–(Palestine A Stolen Heritage, pp.17, 18).
-Israel hijacked a “Libyan civilian jet” in “1986”; “kidnapped” “several Palestinians” from “civilian boats” in “1985”; hijacked a Syrian “civilian jet” in 1954 ““to get hostages”” to trade for Jewish prisoners–( Noam Chomsky Pirates and Emperors, Old and New, International terrorism in the Real World, 1986, 1990, 1991, 2001, 2002. pp. 64, 66). (And to know, Palestinians are pilloried as being pioneers in air piracy. Israel’s hijacking predates Palestinians by 14 years–1954 vs. ‘68).
-the Israeli army is to “demolish the rights of innocent people” (Arabs), because they live in a land “God promised to us”; Arab prisoners are forced to “urinate and excrete” on each other–(Ibid; p. 9).
-“as General Gur put in in May 1978, official Israeli military policy has been to attack Arab civilians en masse” (like the bombings of Palestinians in their “refugee camps in Jordan, Lebanon and Syria”)–(Edward Said The Question of Palestine, 1979, 1992.p.224).
-Jews operated “death squads”, disguising as Arabs and murdering Arabs/Palestinians.
(https://merip.org/1992/09/yitzhak-rabin-and-israels-death-squads/.)
-Zionist forces killed 13,000 Palestinians and committed at least 30 massacres–(https://www.middleeast eye.net/news/avi-shlaim-proof-israel-zionist-involvem ent-iraq-jews-attacks).
-“the militant Zionist group Irgun carried out 60 attacks against Palestinian people and the British Army–(https://en. wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Irgun at tacks#:).
-October 29, 1956, Jewish border guards executed 49 (including one unborn) Arab peasants, men, women and children, of Kafr Qasim for violating a curfew of which they were unawares. Edward Said notes (The Question of Palestine,p.106): “the officer in charge of the operation was brought to trial, found guilty, and then punished with a fine of one piaster (less than one cent)”.)”.
(The lives of 49 Arab children and adults are worth less than one cent. Adolf Hitler, Rudolf Hess, Adolf Eichmann and Josef Mengele should be so blessed. No disrespect to self-respecting Jews).
Jews bombed Palestinians with chemical agent:
“Amnesty International” has “produced what it called “indisputable evidence”” that Israel used white phosphorous against the Palestinians in its “war” of 2008/2009. White phosphorous is a “chemical agent” that ““keeps burning till it is consumed –complete destruction of the tissues down to the bone””–(Toronto Star, Friday, January 23, 2009. Oakland Ross, Gaza teenager’s horrific burns blamed on phosphorous shells, pp. AA 1, 3). Read also “March 25, 2009 Rain of Fire Israel’s Unlawful Use of White Phosphorus in Gaza”
(https://www.hrw.org/report/2009/03/25/rain-fire/israels-unlawful-use-white-phosphorus-gaza.
And https://amnesty.ca/human-rights-news/israel-opt-identifying-the-israeli-armys -use-of-white-phosphorus-in-gaza/).
And “Prior to the 2023 war, Israel held over 5,200 Palestinians as prisoners, including at least 170 children. About 1,310 Palestinians were held in Administrative detention, a practice that allows Israel to detain Palestinians indefinitely without charges or trial. By November 2023, the number of Palestinian prisoners had increased to 10,000.…Some have been convicted of terrorism by Israeli authorities; the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the occupied Palestin ian territories describes many convictions as resulting from “a litany of violations of international law, including due process violations, that taint the legitimacy of the administration of justice by the occupying power.” In total, since 1967, Israel has arrested one million Palestinians; 40% of Palestinian males have been imprisoned by Israel at some point in their life.”–(https: //en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023Israeli%E2%80%93Palestinian_pris oner_exchange). (Emphasis added).
(Read also Israeli historian Ilan Pappe, The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine, 2006).
The Toronto Star, Friday, March 20, 2009, Israeli soldiers ran wild in Gaza, by Oakland Ross, p. A19, notes:
“One mother and her two children mistakenly turned to the left (after they were instructed to turn right) and were promptly shot dead by the rooftop sniper. “He shot them right away,” the squad leader said during the college discussion. “I don’t think he felt too bad about it, because, after all, as far as he was concerned, he did his job according to the orders he was given.”” (Hitler’s officers also were doing their “job according to the orders” they were “given”. Doing his “job” netted Rudolf Hess till-death-us-do-part residency in Spandau prison and Adolf Eichmann lost his head in a Jewish noose).
The article also notes: “In another incident, a company commander is said to have ordered his troops to shoot and kill an elderly woman walking past them at a distance of about 100 metres.”
“Other soldiers described widespread abuse of property. “We throw everything out the windows to make room and order,” said one soldier. “Everything in the house was tossed out the windows – refrigerators, plates, furniture. The order was to throw all of the house’s con-tents outside.”” (And people wonder why Palestinians strap bombs to their bodies. What would you do?)
To enunciate the crimes of one party (Palestinians) and suppress the crimes of the other party (Zionist Jews) is gross dishonesty.
Palestinians in Gaza are also hostages, the bleakest of captives –no food, no drink and no bed and hemmed in with no place to go and are yet being bombed/killed; and when they seek aid they are ruthlessly murdered. This is not “war”, this is massacre. “Genocide!” One source puts this war as an “extermination” of Palestinians. One person (on YouTube video) says, If you have a heart you will cry for the Palestinians.
Having schemed to dispossess Palestinians of their land, “massacred” their way to statehood, uprooted, expelled, exodus, forced into camps, burn with phosphorous bombs and starve Palestinians, in committing crimes against Palestinians “comparable” to crimes committed by Nazis against Jews, Zionist Jews are on no moral pedestal to complain about Nazis.
It is charged that Palestinians/Arabs “manifesto” is to drive Jews into the sea, but there is never mention of Jews “manifesto” to drive Palestinians off their land –and which they have done (and continue to steal more land). So Jews can drive Palestinians/Arabs out of their homes and land, but Palestinians/Arabs cannot drive Jews into the sea to regain their land?
Palestinians have all rights and every right to reclaim their land.
DR. PHIL: In the wake of Hamas killing and taking hostages (October 7, 2013). TV show host, Dr. Phil, (in a YouTube video) questions his Muslim women guests, “Do you condemn Hamas?” The women point out that Hamas’ attack is to be taken in the context of Israeli occupation. Dr. Phil says that what Hamas did is “WRONG”! (Dr. Phil opens a can of worms and wants to remove one worm without disturbing the other worms. Not even Mandrake can pull off this stunt).
For nearly a century, Palestinians are victims of gross, grave injustice. In whatever age –ancient or modern– to effect liberation, by whatever method and means, is the logical and legal right of the occupied –perhaps, occupation legitimizes terrorism: if you do not want terrorism do not occupy. To overthrow the occupier is not terrorism; it is heroism!
The US bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 killed some 250,000 Japanese civilians and an unknown number of children. These civilians and children were innocent and, unlike the Palestinians, the US was not under Japanese occupation. Do you condemn this act of the US? Is it not wrong?
In 1946, to draw World attention to their need for a homeland, Jews bombed the King David Hotel in Jerusalem killing “91” and injuring “dozens”. Do you condemn this act of Jews? Is it not wrong? And unlike Palestinians, Jews were not under British occupation.
In 1948, to establish their state, Jews murdered 300 elderly, children and newborn of Deir Yassin. Do you condemn this act of Jews? Is it not wrong? These 300 did not occupy Jews.
Zionist Jews schemed to dispossess Palestinians of their land (and which dispossessing of Palestinians homes and lands is ongoing by so-called settlers); took hostages and massacred innocents; employed terrorism to establish their state; uprooted, expelled and exodus Palestinians –herded in wretched (concentration?) camps– and for eighty grueling years have occupied Palestinians. The answer to Dr. Phil’s question is: “Do you condemn Jews/Israel”? Isn’t their action “WRONG!”? (Savagery masquerading as civility)
(Same video) Yousef Mosab Hassan (aka Son of Hamas), former Hamas associate turned “Israeli spy”, tells the Muslim women, Palestine does not exist. But, as noted from Google:
“Palestine in the ancient world was part of the region known as Canaan…The term `Palestine’ was originally a designation of an area of land in southern Canaan which the people known as the Philistines occupied a very small part of ….The area contained the five cities (the Pentapolis) of the Philistine confederacy (Gaza, Ashkelon [Ascalon], Ashdod, Gath, and Ekron) and was known as Philistia, or the Land of the Philistines. It was from this designation that the whole of the country was later called Palestine by the Greeks.”
How then this ex-Hamas says Palestine does not exist?
Observation by British philosopher and Mathematician:
“For over 20 years Israel has expanded by force of arms. After every stage in this expansion Israel has appealed to “reason” and has suggested “negotiations”. This is the traditional role of the imperial power, because it wishes to consolidate with the least difficulty what it has already taken by violence.
Every new conquest becomes the new basis of the proposed negotiation from strength, which ignores the injustice of the previous aggression….
The tragedy of the people of Palestine is that their country was “given” by a foreign Power to another people for the creation of a new State. The result was that many hundreds of thousands of innocent people were made permanently homeless. With every new conflict their number have increased. How much longer is the world willing to endure this spectacle of wanton cruelty?
It is abundantly clear that the refugees have every right to the homeland from which they were driven, and the denial of this right is at the heart of the continuing conflict.
No people anywhere in the world would accept being expelled en masse from their own country; how can anyone require the people of Palestine to accept a punishment which nobody else would tolerate? A permanent just settlement of the refugees in their homeland is an essential ingredient of any genuine settlement in the Middle East.”–(Bertrand Russell.

Disgustingly! Whereas Zionist Jews have a home on Palestinian’s land, Zionist Jews and some nations are opposed to Palestinian statehood, and on Palestinian’s own land. It is doubtful these opposed nations would accept this duck for itself.
Forever Justice! Forever Palestine!’
Vive la Palestine libre!
Aazaad Philistine Zindaabaad!
Philistine hurra!
Long live free Palestine!
